For Cowell students who are participating in a non-UCSC Education Abroad sponsored program, there are a number of steps to complete, the last step is to to complete paperwork for a LOA and submit it to Cowell College via fax: (831) 459-5348; or email.

Withdrawal in between quarters:

This is when a student is leaving UCSC and does not plan to return, OR would like to take a break, but they are not in good academic standing.

Students who withdraw from the university will need to apply for readmission to return.

Leaving the University Mid-Quarter:

If a student finds that they need to withdraw from the university mid-quarter they may do so by the deadline.

If the deadline has passed, and a student has extenuating circumstances which is preventing them from being able to complete the quarter (medical, family emergency etc.), they will need to provide documentation and should contact Cowell College as soon as possible.
